The picture below was recently published in Westminster's 2008-2009 course selection handbook for parents and students. As a result, I've been getting grief ("You look like you're doing a magic trick," "Vanna White has competition," etc.) ever since, mostly from colleagues, family, and others who claim they care for and love me.
Because I'd hate for them to have all the fun, here's my gift of cheap entertainment to you: a caption contest. The rules:
- Enter your best caption (you may enter as many times as you like).
- Be nice (or at least not crude).
- Contest ends Friday (or until my feelings get hurt).
- Winning entry will be determined by my wife (which disqualifies her caption of choice: "Do the Hustle").
- No prizes will be awarded (other than that of your own fun at my expense).
Last qualification: If this post seems overly self-serving or narcissistic, please accept my apologies. However, rather than go away mad, why not take your anger out by leaving a scathing (yet creative) caption? Just think of it as cheap therapy.
But enough about me; what do you think about me? Here's the pic - happy captioning:
the apostles caught 153 fish, but they were only this big.

What do you mean 'what was I thinking when I released my album'? And what does that have to do with Matthew?

Indeed, I have very clever readers (though I'm a pretty easy target - the Rodney Dangerfield of the blogosphere, I like to think).
